    What next for Andy Lee?

    This is a curious one, I think Lee beat a guy a lot of us seemed to be overestimating based on a glittering amateur career.

    I was surprised but not shocked by his win, he looked quite beatable before he landed that punch and I think Quillin, GGG and Cotto all beat him. Maybe all of them stop him. I can see a big money fight at the MSG against Cotto, a unification or a unification with Taylor who is there for the taking. That would be probably be the best option but I doubt Taylor's team want that.

    So in the end, I think he'll have a year in which he fights Saunders and Murray.

    What do you guys think he should do next?

        I can't see BJS taking the fight straight away. He was talking about needing one more fight and I think that would be a good idea. Also, Lee deserves a homecoming vs an easier opponent in my opinion.

              Since Steward passed away his boys continue to win belts...

              It's likely that Lee will make big fights in Dublin (i.e. Quillin or Cotto not involved). I guess that, if invited, Taylor and Golovkin would travel there...

                Taylor may travel but I doubt GGG would.

                That's the money fight for him at home but I don't see it happening straight away

                  i would like it to be golovkin, but i suspect lee and his people have different ideas. expect him to defend against some no-name before facing bjs for a relatively lucrative show-down in the uk or ireland, then the winner of that one aiming for taylor or cotto rather than triple g

                    you can't blame em, BJS and Murray are winnable and big money domestic scraps and then cotto brings more money and prestige than ggg, i wouldnt mind those 3 fights one bit. Lee is familiar at MSG and he could help sell that place out against Cotto and bring a passionate irish fan base to the show.
